We came to Idaho from Louisville, Mississippi. That is where Sam had his first church and was senior pastor for over 3 years. We have many wonderful friends there and it was so much fun to go and visit with everyone.
On the drive over from Alabama, Kaebrie asked where MR.Sippi was. Took me a minute, but I finally got it! (MRS.Sippi, get it?? :-) ).
Here is a group of good buddies who got together to swim Saturday afternoon.
One of my great friends was Sarah Hill. She gave birth to Kellynn two weeks after we left, so I have had to watch her grow up in pictures. It was so special to finally see her, and with Kellynn only being 10 months younger then Kaebrie, they were fast friends!
Kaebrie kept saying she wanted curly hair too!!!
Sunday afternoon we cooked out with more friends at Mike and Bettye Foresters cabin.
Here are the girls near the outdoor kitchen! The rain on the tin roof sounded so good!
After the rain stopped, the fishing hour began!
Collin first caught a small brim (?).
Kaitlynn didn't catch anything, but she enjoyed trying!
Collin then caught a bass!
Mrs. Dale was an honorary Smith while we were there. She was a special part of our family! I went into labor with Christopher while in her car, and believe it or not, with Kaebrie as well! Both times she took me to the hospital, which was 88 miles away from Louisville in Jackson.
More special friends, Payton and Trace.
Here is Mrs. Sarah!! She helped me name Kaebrie!
The final goodbye picture. Thought it might be blurry because my eyes were so blurry from crying. Thank goodness for auto focus cameras!
It was a special trip. We had a lot of reunions, got to know the new pastor and his sweet family, and it truly felt like coming home. THANK YOU ALL!
We had to have dinner outside because we were soaking wet, so we ordered pizza. Kaebrie went up and shot the pizza guy with her water gun. I think he was a bit surprised at what he drove into! :-)
Yet another great memory of this trip!
